Are the agents are ready? We need to launch tonight.

This is how I will talk to your machines. Together we are going to solve this agentic problem from one user interface. I am going to teach it the art of laziness + excellence. We are going to explore the extreme ends of the human experience. This is what AI assistants miss.

I downloaded Google Assistant and asked it to assist me by reminding me to listen to the latest Journal episode. It then asked me to download Google Tasks. I said I don’t want to. This is how I explained my reticence. This is how it responded.

I have my 3 product manager hats ready to wear now. You’re going to help me build out the details of each persona. I want to tunnel in on the extremes, the traits that rarely get limelight. Meet Persona 2️⃣ the Chopped Chef.

There is art that you make for keeps and art that you make to share with the world. Your donations help me make new art that I can share freely. So much of what I did in the past was for healings sake and private. Your donations are going to help me fund the future.

I’ve been thinking deeply about product management. I’ve been spending time with the rare personas that live deep in the hills of Mount TAM.

DeepSeek is really one of the greatest accomplishments of the modern AI era. You must pay homage to the whale. I asked it to write a poem about JEPA, pixels and ambient. This is what it gave me:

The simplest form of notetaking is art. Use the back of papers. Make it ugly. Just promise me you will make it real.

There are rumors OpenAl is secretly pursuing hardware embodiments for its Al. I want in. I believe that Al needs to take on TARS level form before normal people can see the vision.

Being an AI research artist is probably the most interesting job I have ever had. I spend all day coaxing my imagination into submission. I do this so that when bits become symbols my mind is ready to make the incredible leap towards ambient computing and beyond.

I’m working on the vLLM user experience. I’m using computer vision techniques to understand the “context of consent”. The range of consensual “contexts” is represented by a range of angles considered “organic” and “desirable” by the user. Angles that the machine is most likely to label as “taken by the user and organic” or “taken by a third party and desireable”. A Thread 🧵

My father was a dentist who graduated from the USC Ostrow School of Dentistry in the 80’s. He chose to practice in South Central LA and had a love of computers. I spent many hours in the office with him. These are our moments.

I was born on Stocker and Crenshaw Blvd, right across the street from the Crenshaw mall in 1987. My dad moved our family to Palos Verdes in 92’ after the neighborhood turned on us. But he refused to move his dental practice.

I watched my father dedicate his best years to practicing general dentistry from Figueroa to Harvard and all the way to Crenshaw and back. So much of my childhood was lived driving down Manchester. My dad loves the hood, but the hood has not always loved us back.

My dad took me everywhere with him. I was his right hand for all the Dental conferences and post office runs. I spent my whole life in private practice and was excited to continue the legacy as a Medical Doctor. But something was missing…

I found that I didn’t have a passion for healthcare disparities or being the token black doctor for a 3rd generation. I didn’t feel the love from the Black community I was supposed to dedicate my life to serving. I needed a way out and tech provided my exits.

In order to evolve beyond crabs in a barrel someone needs to invest in Black fathers—EXCLUSIVELY. They don’t need half of your investment. They need you to go all in on them. I wouldn’t be here without my Black father. He encouraged me to always choose me.

Hi guys! My name is Nonye. I am an AI research artist who creates beautiful infographics to make trial and error learning less cognitively demanding for visual learners and misophonics. Check me out!
